Hippies are known for their relaxed and carefree attitude to life, and this carries through to their dress sense and style too. Hippies always look comfortable and at ease with what they are wearing, and that’s something that every person aims to achieve.

Here are five fashion tips that will keep you in tune with your hippie side:

Choosing the right footwear

This is a vital step in achieving any style that is going to make you look and feel comfortable. Many die-hard hippies choose to go barefoot, but that’s not that practical of a choice if you’ve to go the supermarket to pick up some groceries. Choosing to wear a flat sandal or flip-flop is a much better option as they are comfortable, they look good and they are easy to slip on and off when needed.

Wear loose fitting tops

Comfortable, natural and loose fitting tops and tees are the best option when putting together a hippie inspired outfit. Avoid wearing any tops that are anyways tight or figure hugging. Old, worn and tie-dyed tops are key pieces of any hippies wardrobe. Long-sleeved peasant blouses and linen shirts are also very popular as they look fashionable without being fussy.

Harem pants

No hippies wardrobe is complete without at least one pair of harem pants. Mainly made from light materials, they come in a huge range of different colors and funky patterns. Harem pants are fun, they’re extremely comfortable and they are a great way of adding a splash of the hippie vibe to any outfit. Versatility is guaranteed with any pair of harem pants. You can pair them with a bikini top and flip-flops for a beach look during the day or wear them with a sandal and tie-dye top for a meal out in the evening.

Denim shorts

Ripped or torn denim shorts can instantly add a hippie edge to any outfit. You don’t necessarily need to rush out and buy new denim shorts in the shops, why not try and recycle your old jeans? If you’re male, turn your old jeans into cutoffs with the use of a scissors and if you’re female, turn your old jeans into some short shorts. You’re not worried about your shorts/cutoffs looking pristine and presses so be as sketchy as you like with your cutting design.

Accessorize

Handcrafted jewelry is a key piece to any hippie look. Long beaded necklaces, natural stones, peace charms, seashells and ethnic-inspired earrings are all hugely popular. Why not get creative and make your own hippie inspired jewelry? Hippie life is all about having fun and expressing yourself!

Some people thinks that it is not okay for men to wear jewelry while others think that men’s jewelry is a nice and colorful way to express masculinity and self-awareness, there are many opinions on the subject, almost as many opinions as there are people in the world we live in.

Up throughout history many types of jewelry has been worn by men of all ages, to show status or rank to others passing by and seeing them. In modern times in the west we have for long believed that the man’s only jewelry should be his watch, which is an idea started by watchmakers and other fashion people in the beginning of the industrial age as a marketing concept. This has however been revised in recent years because new fashion trendsetters have been promoting bracelets and necklaces for men as well.

Iconic characters such as everyone making rap and pop music in contemporary times have been taking part in promoting a man wearing more jewelry and more extravagant jewelry in recent days. Wearing extravagant jewelry has also been subject to much discussion in fashion circles as the trends change from year to year on social acceptance of extravagance in general.

While some people always think that people wearing fancy men’s jewelry are fancy people others may think that it is narcissistic and pompous to wear very flashy jewelry and clothes. While most wealthy people prefer to be modestly dressed, there are many upper middleclass people who like to express themselves through their wears, especially in America and Asia we will see these tendencies. It is often important to remember that a lot of expressive jewelry does not necessarily cost more than the modest items, because some simple things are made from very good materials by famous designers and engineers.
